History
Vyadhapura, the city of the hunter king, named in honour of Hun P'an-huang. It was the capital of the
Kingdom of Funan early in its history, located near the Funan's sacred mountain of Ba Phnom.[3]
Chinese reports indicated that it was about 193,121 km or 120 miles from the sea.
According to Paul Pelliot, Vyadhapura was the capital of Water Chenla (Lower Chenla).[4]
